This Comment reviews recent proposals to address the "empty creditor" problem. The author argues that previous proposals would do little to reduce the risk that empty creditors will block debt-for-equity exchanges in order to collect credit default swap payments. The author presents an alternative approach that would limit the dangers of empty crediting by modifying the standardized language of swap agreements. Specifically, the author argues for widening the definition of "credit events" to encompass voluntary debt-for-equity exchanges that surpass a certain participation threshold. This reform would benefit the vast majority of credit protection buyers and sellers, while simultaneously reducing deadweight losses resulting from unnecessary bankruptcy filings.

The insurance industry covers establishments that collect premiums in exchange for providing financial benefits in the event of loss or injury. Common forms of insurance include life, health and medical, home and property, workers' compensation, automobile, retirement, and title insurance. The insurance industry serves both corporate clients and individual customers. As such, the industry can be vulnerable to economic downturns that limit both business and personal spending. Many insurers are pursuing business abroad in order to counter the downturn in domestic sales. There's also a competition issue, as banks may offer products from multiple insurers, seeking to find the best match for their client's needs. Times are hard for the insurance sector. The weak US economy not only impacts s...
